Synthesis of Polycyclic Molecules by Double C(sp²)−H/C(sp³)−H Arylations with a Single Palladium Catalyst

Polycyclic molecules were obtained in good yields by double C(sp²)−H/C(sp³)−H arylations mediated by a single palladium/phosphine catalyst. Both double intermolecular/intramolecular and intramolecular/intramolecular C−C couplings were performed successfully, which indicates that this concept has a broad applicability for the rapid construction of molecular complexity.
